FINE ARTS. FL OTVERS OF LOVELINESS. Ackermann, London, 1836. The con ce p t i on of th i s work i s remarkably happy, and not les s so t h e execut i on. Th e E di tor i s M r. aThes Bail e y, w h o h as ill ustrate d a var i ety o f engrav ings of b eaut if u l females, named after the d i fferent flowers which they are supposed to represent, by poems, w hose great c h arm li es i n the i r grace f ul an d pert i nent simplicity, We We do not know of any volume better a dapted t o li e on a drawing-room table than this b:lower s o f L ovel i ness. " It i s handsome w i t h out TI? g tawdry : various and choice in its engravings, Wll 'ch are the pr o d uc ti ons o f some o f the most eminent ar tists of th e d a y ; and the poems are each just of s liffi cieut length t o be read through without wearying the reader. " The Jessamine" is represented by two Youthful females—one a blonde, the other a brunette, t riilo are pl ay f u ll y tw i ning a wreath of t hi s fl ower a b out b e rn. The attitude of the two figures is full of easy ,g r ace, and th e li tt l e bi t o f l an d scape i n t h e b ac k- groun d relieves the uniformity of the picture. " The Myrtle" consists also o f t wo f ema l es ; one o f w h o m has an Allegro, and th e o th er a P enser oso expression of coun +. flat ice• We prefer the gay, laughing girl, for there '8 a witchery in her merry black eye, and in the arch "lilt playing about her rosy lips, which is far more attr active than the grave and thoughtful aspect of the Other. " The Primrose" is represented by a dark giPsy-looking girl, who is placing a chaplet of prim rusgs on th e h ea d o f a f a i r bl on d e , d o wn whose pale face a tear is stealing, whence we conclude she is far g o ne in love--a malady peculiar to youthful and sus cePtible s pi r i ts , espec i a ll y w h en t h ey h a pp en t o b e good i°°,king, which is the case with this fair unfortunate, /l e° is evidently " all soul," as boarding-school girls ar e apt to say of the first young gentleman that pays t hem a compliment. " The Wild Geranium" is repre tented by a mother well- is dancing an infant child in her arms. It is a executed engraving by Hull, fr°lll a design furnished by Mrs. Seyffarth. The re maining prints in the volume are equally excellent with t hose which we have selected, and the poetry is far su perior to the average of Annual verse. I MRS. GORE'S NEW NOVEL. — The new novel r il ed " Mrs. Armytage ; or, Female Domination," has en pronounced by all our critical contemporaries, not only „, Vle best production of the authoress of " Mothers and Daughters," but one of the very ablest works of fiction pro `iuced fo r many years p as t. Of the dramatis persona, the Sco tsman remarks—" The careering impetuosity of Mrs. l r mytage's temper, and the uncomplaining placidity her daughter's disposition, amidst the sufferings of a broken heart, are depicted with powerful force by Mrs. (yore. All the characters, especially the females, are sketched with the finest discrimination. Marian, a pretty and good-hearted girl, whose only fault is that she wants t act ; Rose Devonport, a simple country beauty, with her aunt's aristocratical specimens of antique spinsters, full of c haracter ; Mrs. Dyke Robsey, the rather vulgar wife of a Wealthy M.P. Some of the men, too, are presented to, if zot from, the life. The rollicking, downwnright jolly Jack Qaltimore ; the spiteful tuft-hunter, Mr. Wemmersley ; the rich Yankee, metamorphosed from the stark Repub- Tah ; Mr. Leonidas Lomax, into the assiduous, fashiona ble Sir Leon Fitzmarscourt, of Counterfield Lodge. The r espective descriptions and histories of these characters suggest a world of satire, entertainment, and instruction." INHOSPITALITY OF THE AMERICANS. The T ollowing is an extract from " Weston's Visit to America," Which, from its wide circulation, we suppose has been generally read. It strongly pourtrays the demoralization ti the Americans, and their disgraceful inhospitality to einig ra nts on landing. After having lain all night in the streets himself, he says—" On going along the quay, I observed many holes in it, large enough to allow a person even a chest to fall through ; and as there was no lamps °II the quay, I wondered that no accident had befallen s ome of :is on the previous night ; one of these chasms was near where I bivouacked, and I passed two other en e n - 111 Pments of emigrants in Washington-street ; some of rill were lying huddled together under carts — some with the recesses of doors, and some on the bare pavement. luquired of a good-looking elderly woman , who was lying On th e p a vement, her head bare, and her long grey hair fluttering in the breeze—how long was it since she landed ? and she answsred in German that it was sir nights, and that her party had lain all that time in the streets." Such rues meet the eve of every emigran t on landing at New fork, and are repeated at Philadelphia a nd New Orleans. DISCOVERY OF A HUMAN SKELETON IN LIN INN-sQUAßE.—Yesterday morning some workmen mere employed in digging in front of the house No. 9, Lin- L °lll '2 inn-square beyond the area, for the purpose of form tb a cavity in which a large cistern was to be placed for ki th e bett er supply of water to the inmates of that house. %00tit nine o'clock, as one of the labourers, who was dig s rath er under that part o f the p avement at the end of e passage leadii2g from Serle - street to t he Inn with a spade, he w as astonished at drawing forth the skull of a hu man b e i ng . Th e focernan of the works , and the different 7ers of the Inn, were immediate l y a pp rised of the cir urni. 3t ree and the workmen were ordered to proceed delaywith in the excavation of that particular spot. Some tic a l uger being apprehended from digging too rapidly under d u e . Pavement, upon which there is a heavy pressure v i a rl ug the day, from the number of passengers, they pro `l,ed themselves with props, and proceeded cautiously. In ban s, time they brought forth the bones of the legs, feet, 1 2 : 111, and shoulders, with part of the spine, of a human t y„Tg - --and, upon digging farther, they found, at about two ti . i ° ck in the afternoon, the lower part of the spine and 4 5 With the thigh and other bones appertaining, huddled, 1, 0 .4 were, torrether.

There were no nails no r an y other eo kearan ce to denote that the pieces had ever formed a test four The depth at which the skeleton was found was ti t four feet from the surface. A very consider able quan of hair, of what is called a sandy red, was found adher pbp the skull, all the teeth in which (and the set was si tu f eet ) were in an entire state of preservation. From the lOtinn in which the bones were found, it is conjectured f ee ' t ‘ the body had been bent with the head towards the and placed in a box in that position, and thus buried. w t e l r a close examination of the skull several indentations tl l 6 e , found upon it, especially on the hinder part. The leg, a ppea re d 'lnd arm bones were remarkably thick and large, and p ou, '"'nd to have formed a portion of the frame of a very a r4l erful man. The ribs, however, were comparatively tl l4 l . The appearance of the teeth led to a conclusion W e , t her belonged to a very young ma n.

THE LAMENT FOR MADAME MALIBRAN. BY SIR LUMLEY SKIFFINGTON. Flow, sorrow, flow ; a deep lament, An everlasting sigh, Through every scene shall still present That shade which seeks the sky. Tear falls on tear—a boundless grief— The deluge of the heart, Revering MALIBRAN as chief In nature and in art. If some rare star, in aftertime, Would kindred fame oppose, She must inherit the sublime On which that angel rose ; Bereavement of terrestrial worth, A trial wisely given, Turns every thought from cares of earth, To extacy in Heaven. THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. The new play, in three acts, which, we understand, is the production of Mr. Banim, called The Duchess of Or mond, was not very favourably received last night, but the audience was hardly sufficiently numerous to pronounce a definite judgment upon it. The interest of the story de pends upon the affection of Mortimer (Warde) for the Du chess of Ormond (Miss Huddart), who had herself been in love with Mortimer before, but under the compulsion of cir cumstances, she married the Duke of Ormond. The Duke, discovering their mutual attachment in the first act, relin quishes his Duchess to Mortimer, and in the interval be tween the first and second acts he goes to India and re turns from thence. When he comes back he learns that Mortimer is madly jealous of the ex-duchess, now Mrs. Mortimer, who, enraged, sends away her son (the offspring of the Duke), who joins his father, and in the third act the father and son are about to proceed to France. The Duchess, anxious to bid farewell of her child before his de parture, is found by Mortimer in the Duke's house. The Duke and Mortimer fight, the latter is killed, and the mo ther, finally separated from the Duke, is allowed to retain possession of her son. The only other part at all promi ment was that sustained very well by Mrs. Humby ; it is the old character of a chattering waiting-maid. The piece was given out for Saturday by Cooper, but, we fear, it will never succeed. OLYMPIC. A new one-act burletta was played at this theatre last night. It is entitled A Pleasant IVeighbour, and gives Liston an opportunity of dressing and acting, and of course looking indescribably ludicrous in the character of a country cobbler. The whole piece rests upon his efforts and those of Mrs. Orger ; and dull indeed must it be if it failed to amuse with such supporters. Its title almost tells the story, which renders it the less necessary for us to enter into it, and we are, besides, unwilling to anticipate the great pleasure our readers will derive from seeing it. The dialogue is good, and Liston makes the most of it, admi rably aided, as we have said already, by Mrs. Orger, whose inimitable personation of this class of characters is too well known to require any particular notice in this instance. The piece was announced for repetition amidst much applause. Lord Hatherton entertained a party at Neddesley Park during, Rugeley Races, of which his only son, the Hon. Edward Richard Littleton, who recently came of age, is one of the stewards. The Duke of Buckingham and the Marquis of of Chandos are enjoying the sport of pheasant shooting at Avington, near Winchester. The Marquis of Waterford was not at Vauxhall gardens at the ascension of a balloon. The last letters left his Lordship at Malta. The Earl of Westmoreland is still in Grosvenor square, in improved health. The Earl of Scarborough has arrived at Sandbeck, Bawtry, in Yorkshire, from a tour. His Lordship will en tertain a party next month, Lord Seaford is going on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Portland, at Welbeck Priory, Nottinghamshire. Sir J. Graham, Bart., M.P., and T. Salkeld, Esq., hale consented to act as stewards of the Penrith races for 1837. On Saturday last, the Royal Company of Archers, the King's body guard for Scotland, shot in Hope Park for the pagoda medal, given by Lieut.-Colonel James Spence, which was won by the Right Honourable Lord Ramsay. Lord Saye and Sele has left Broughton Castle, Ox , rordshire, for Brighton. The Marquis and Marchioness of Thomond have left Belgrave-square for Brighton. Lord Gardner and his Lady leave Kinmell Park in a few days, for Melton Mowbray, where his Lordship keeps up a large hunting establishment. The Marquis and Marchioness of Bristol will leave Ickworth Park, for Kemptown, early in November. The Countess of Gosford and the Ladies Acheson, are gone to Worlingbam Hall, near Beccles, and do not in tend at present to embark for Canada, where the Earl of Gosford is Governor-in-Chief. The Earl and Countess of Camperdown, and the Ladies Duncan, intend to winter at Bath, where they have arrived from Cheltenham. Lord Thurlow, grand-nephew of the celebrated Lord Chancellor Thurlow, who recently came of age, is making great improvements at his seat, Great Ashfield, Suffolk. His Lordship's mother was Miss Bolton, an actress of some celebrity, who survived her Lord only a few months. One of the vacant insignia of the Bath has been bestowed on Major-General, now Sir William Thornton. BRUSSELS, OCT. 16--The Marquis de Mira flores, Grandee of Spain, and the Duke of Ossuna have ar rived here from Madrid. • -• The contemplated marriage between Peregrine Town ley, Esq., of Townley Hall, Lancashire, and Lady Caroline Molyneux, fourth daughter of the Earl and Countess of Sefton, is fixed to take place in three weeks. The bride groom elect is of a wealthy Roman Catholic facially in the Counties of Lancashire and Cheshire. Lady Caroline is at present travelling in Belgium, with her Noble parents, but the marriage, it is understood, will be solemnized in England. On the close of the Edinburgh Theatre on last Fri day, Mr. Murray addressed the audience, and in the course of his speech took occasion to advert to the death of Madame Malibran in the following terms :—" I cannot pass over in silence the great loss which our profession has sustained by the lamented death of Madame Malibran de Beric't. She was to have appeared before you this summer ; all was ar ranged, but her fatal illness intervened, and by a sin gular and melancholy coincidence, the tidings of her death arrived in Edinburgh on the very clay which had been settled for her appearance here." Mr. Kean has declined the offers of a London en gagement made to him by both Theatres ; his immense success in the Provinces has induced the various managers to secure a repetition of his visits, thus precluding the possibility of his appearing before a London audience during the present season. This day is the thirty-first anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. It will be commemorated at Portsmouth, on board the Victory, Lord Nelson's ship. All the naval officers there will dine together on the occasion. A pot of, porter, an ounce of tobacco, and one shilling will be given to each veteran Tar now in Greenwich Hospital who served with the Gallant Admiral in that memorable engagement. As it was the fashion to take antique names, our e*frokipi: tc_ , ,pk, I believe, the name of Epaminondas, and I that ofrPtiis, ll the other members of the committee B A 4 ,-0 m our sittings we cou ld have followed our example ' made a vocabulary o ' f &reek a - 4 ilernan names. ' They have, in a pamphlet, attributed to Napoleott this bgrowed \ name of 13rntns ; but it belonged only to me. Napoleon thought to elevate his own name above all those of ancient THE SUN, LONE! history ; and if he had been desirous of figuring in such masquerades, I do not think he would have chosen the name of Brutus.—Lucien Bonaparte's Memoirs. SINGULAR STRIKE.—The night watchmen of Edinburgh have struck almost in a body for a rise of wages. Out of 160 only 36 did duty. There was a meetinfr on Saturday, when upwards of 100 assembled', respectable looking, clean, clean, and well clad, who conducted their business in the most orderly manner. The following are the parti culars of their case :—ln July the night watchmen peti tioned the Police Commissioners for a rise of wages. They had been paid some time 12s. a week, from which 11d. is deducted for cleaning their lanterns. They requested 16s. a week, but it was understood they would be content with 14s. Their petition remained unanswered until Friday, when a direct refusal was given to their deft - lands. The men met and passed several resolutions, refusing to do duty without a rise of wages. These resolutions were sent to the Superintendent, who, as he could not anewaf them, gave notice that all who did not resume duty instantly would be held as dismissed. The object of the meeting on Saturday was to lay their grievances before the public. A cannon, constructed upon an entirely new prin ciple, was yesterday tried, with perfect sucees.s, m the neigh bourhood of London. The novelty of the invention consists in the facility of charging, and the consequent increased efficiency as an engine of war. We understand that further experiments will be made in the course of a few days, when we shall lay before our readers a full description of this ex traordinary machine. A substitute for steam appears at length to have been found. A gentleman, whose name, as connected with philosophic researches, is well known, has, after the failure of hundreds of experiments, attained the application of a well known principle in nature, which costs nothing, to supersede the use of steam for navigation, machinery, apd the convey ance of carriages and waggons on common roads, at a most trifling rate of tonnage. If this plan be fully realised this invention will create as great a revolution in the arts as steam itself has effected. VISIONS OF HAPPINESS.—Mr. Chorley in his interesting " Memorials of Mrs. Hemans," which have just appeared, tells us that—" Throughout the whole of her last illness, she was visited by vivid and delightful .dreams, to which, and to the quietness of her slumber, she often thank fully referred ; and in answer to the sympathy expressed by the few admitted to her presence, who were &stressed to see the melancholy state in which she was lying, she would say that she had no need of pity, that she lived in a fair and happy world of her own, among gentle thoughts and plea sant images, which were sufficient to her cheerfulness?" An " affair of honour," which lately took place be tween Lieutenants Clay and Davies, R.N., one residing at Exmouth, the other at Teignmouth, has excited much sen sation. The affair was kept tolerably private for a few days, but has since been the chief topic of conversation. The gallant gentlemen were each attended by a brother Lieutenant, and a surgeon was within call in ease of an ac cident. The parties (report says) fired intim* ; the Ex mouth gentleman received his adversary's hall in the arm, but the wound was not dangerous, Another report says that only one fired, and no mischief was done to require surgical aid. The quarrel occurred at the Yeomanry Ball at Exmouth, when the epithet " coward" was applied to the Lieutenant by his brother officer at Teignmouth. The misunderstanding was understood to have been made up the same evening, but renewed next day, the result of which was the challenge and duel. A correspondent complains of the great insolence of many of the labouring dustmen, whose coarse and ob scene language, when thy get into a house to remove the dust, is abominable, particularly if they are not supplied with drink, for which they have no just claim whatever. It is asked if they are not liable to be punished for abusive language, as well as a hackney coachman or cabman ; and, if they are, the fining a few of these gentry would be the best means of curing the evil, and preventing their insolence in future.—Morning Paper. Last autumn the steward of the Duke of Leeds as sumed the manorial authority of former times, and set aside the constable named by the rate-payers, appointing another in his place. Thursday next is the usual day for nominating the constables for the ensuing year, but no ves try meeting has been called for that purpose. The Duke's steward, therefore, will have to exercise his power of ap pointment, without even a show of opposition.—Halifax Express. The clear profits of business in Manchester is cal culated to amount to upwards of twelve millions annually. The elopement from the neighbourhood of one of the Royal Palaces, of a young lady related to a Noble Duke, with a person in humble life, which has gone the round of the Papers, turns out to be no elopement at all, but a regularly-arranged marriage between litiss Manners, of Kempton Park, near Hampton Court, and 'Mr. Staple ton, the fishmonger, of Egham, whose fine person and good looks had attracted much notice in the neighbourhood. The bride is one of the daughters of Mr. Manners, a descendant of an illegitimate son of one of the Dukes of Rutland, and has resided for many years at Kempton Park. It is said that Mr. Stapleton is in a large way of business, to which, it seems, his fair partner now entirely devotes herself.-- Brighton Guardian. EXHALATIONS FROM CHURCHYARDS.—When Caspar Hauser passed, on one occasion, in the autumn of 1828, near St. John's churchyard, in the , Yreinity of Nu remberg, the smell of the dead bodies, of which his com panion had no perception, affected him so powerfully, that he was seized with an ague and began to shudder. The ague was soon succeeded by a feverish heat,-which at length caused a violent perspiration, by which his linen was tho roughly wetted. When he returned, towards the city gate, he said he felt better, yet he complained that his sight was obscured thereby. What would have been the effect pro duced upon this being, of so delicate a nervous susceptibi lity, had he passed by some of the crowded burial places, many of which are in the most thickly-peopled districts of London ? Although such remarkable effects are not pro duced upon people in general, yet the same gasses are eli minated from the thousands of dead bodies in London, in all stages of decomposition, which become mixed with the air, and are breathed by the people, incorporated with their blood, and thus the very " putrefactions of the dead become part of the fluids of the living." In the case of Caspar, a living chemical test was applied, of such e&te sensibi lity, that the presence and noxious qualitiesese agents were demonstrated. The difference between the effects produced upon him and upon other human beings is a dif ference rather of degree than of kind. -The emanations are equally poisonous, equally destructive' to health ; but most persons are less sensitive, and therefore they are better able to withstand them than Caspar. _ A letter of the 10th instant from Cologne states that the public has just been much occupied with a singular criminal prosecution. The natural son of the Baron de Halberg, who distinguished himself in the war against Na poleon, became enamoured of the widow of a person who was employed in a government office. Although the lady was both old and ugly, and had been imprisoned two years for theft, she inspired this young man, who is not 27 years of age, with a passion so violent, that, in a fit of jealousy, he stabbed another young man of the town. He has been found guilty and condemned to death. Little hopes aro entertained of his obtaining a pardon.—Galignani's Ales- senger. NERVOUS DEBILITY.—Among the various disor ders to which the human frame is subject, those arising from a debilitated state of the nervous system, are parti- - cularly calculated to produce a general decay, and gra dually undermine the constitution. We earnestly recom mend to persons thus afflicted the " Alterative" and " Tonic Powders," prepared by Mr. Wray of Holborn Hill ; they diffuse a strength and vigour .throughout the frame, dissipate langour, promote digestion, create an appe tite, and restore to a state of activity the debilitated con stitution. The cures effected by their potency are innu merable. A PATERNAL MONARCH.—When Frederick ' the Great of Prussia was once travelling through Silesia, the wife of a peasant near Breslau presented to him a basket of fruit, and had been so touched by the kindness with which he received it, that she determined to send him another on the next year to Potsdam. She accompanied the offering with the following note :--‘. Most dear and clement oar Lord the King —as our fruit has not succeeded better this year than the last, you must condescend to re ceive it such as it is. I and my husband have picked out the best we could find, and we have packed it up as well as we are able, with straw and hay. We hope you will eat it in good health. Pray God give you a long life, in order that you may come and see us for many years to come. I will always keep the best I have for you. I and my hus band entreat you, therefore, to regard us with favour, espe cially because our little bit of land produces less than it did, and that we have a debt upon it of one hundred and twenty crowns, ten groschen, and six fenins. Moreover, we commend you to the protection of Almighty God ; and we shall be, till death, and for ever, of your Majesty the faithful and devoted subjects, " I AND MY HUSBAND." To this communication Frederick replied-- " Good Mother—l am much obliged to you for your fruit. If God grants health and life to me I will return and see you a year hence. Keep something for me, in or der that I may find it when I come to you. With regard to what you tell me of your little bit of land being charged with a debt of one hundred and twenty crowns, ten gros • then, and six fenins, that is really a bad business. You should be very economical, otherwise your affairs will go ' back instead of advancing. I send you heresvith two hun ' dred crowns, which I have also packed up as well as I am ' able. Pay your debts with them, and free your bit of land. L Take care to economise as much as you ape able ; this is a k counsel which I give you seriously, as your attached King. —Memoirs by Lord Dover. - " FREDERICK." FRIDAV, OCTOBER 21, 1836.

G s . 34d.! near ly GOO/. having been previously raised by subscription ! THE WOMEN OF PRAGUE.—There are few places in fact where I have met a greater proportion of female beauty than in Prague. The generality have dark and glossy hair, and very fine complexions. They dress more neatly than gaudily, and trip along the trottoi;• with a light and airy step, that indicates health and elasticity in every limb. They excel, of course, in the ball-room ; and to gee . a Prague lady wa lt z i ng i s cer t a i n ly th e very elegance of motion. Thus youth, beauty, and grace c ombine to make the maids of this city irresistible ; but charming as they are, they seem not to be over-cruel to their s uitors. Their mo rality, indeed, if w e are to pay any attention to the statis tics of the town, is really at a very low ebb. Only think of . the astounding fact, that out of 3,955 births which occurred Prague, during the year 1828, there were 1,404 illeg,iti male.—Stranes Germany in 1831. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, OCT. 20. The Parliament re-assembled this day at 2 o'clock, the term of prorogation having closed. The Lords met in their usual chamber, where no altera- tions have taken place, though works are going on in rooms contiguous to it for improvement of the offices. The Com mons' Chamber, on the contrary, presented a scene of ex traordinary confusion, the whole building being dismantled and filled with workmen, carpenters' benches, partitions, gratings, &c. The reporters' and the strangers' galleries are lowered, as is the ceiling ; and the back of the Speaker's chair is considerably reduced, so that it will neither impede seeing nor hearing, except some head or sounding-board be, unfortunately and tastelessly, restored. The lobbies and passages are filled with works and benches, &c., belonging to the house, so that the narrowest space vas left for the passage of Black Rod, and afterwards of those represent ing the Commons. Mr. W. Ley, the first clerk at the table, and others attached to the house, appeared in this terribly dilapidated building to await Black Rod's summons, the workmen suspending their labours and noise during the ceremony. Soon after two o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR, and Lords LANGDALE and HOLLAND took their seats in front of the Throne to act as his Majesty's Lords Commissioners. Lord Holland was on the right, and Lord Langdale on the left, of the Lord Chancellor ; all, of course, were attired in Peers' robes. Lord Melbourne was in the House, but he had not arrived at the commencement of the business, and consequently was not one of the Commissioners, as had been previously arranged that he was to be. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod to require the immediate atten dance of the Commons, to hear his Majesty's Commission read. Mr. Ley, &c., from the Commons, having appeared at .he Bar, Mr. Smith (of the Journal-office, Mr. Currie being out of town) read the Commission at the table, naming the Lords Commissioners, and the day to which the Parliament was to be further prorogued. The LORD CHANCELLOR then stated, that by virtue of his Majesty's Commission under the Great Seal, to the Lords Commissioners, and other Lords directed, and now just read, they did, in his Majesty's name, and in obedience to his commands, prorogue this Parliament to Thursday, the Bth day of December, there then to be holden and sit ; and that Parliament was accordingly now prorogued to Thursday, the Bth of December next. The Commons then retired from the Bar, and the Lords Commissioners forthwith quitted the House. HAMMERSMITH REFORM CLUB. The members of this Club having invited the advocates of the Reform interest before the Revising Barristers to dine with them after the revision, a numerous and highly respectable party met last evening, at the City Arms, Hammersmith. A most excellent dinner was placed upon the table, and the members and their guests sat down soon after five o'clock. ROBERT WATSON, Esq. in the chair. The usual toasts having been given, the healths of Mr. Coppock, Mr. Owen, and Mr. Davis, were drank with much enthusiasm. Mr. COPPOCK, in returning thanks on behalf of himself and friends, said that he felt more pleasure than any mere personal attention could give, in seeine , the prosperous state of the Reform cause in Hammersmith. ' By the efforts of the gentlemen he saw around him, the list of voters had for the two last years been purified, and the number of reformers upon that list increased. A similar club in every parish would produce similar results, and reform be triumphant. Spite of all the boasts of the Tories, Middlesex was safe, and the result of the present revision would show that the two Members who now represented the county could not be unseated by any Tory. Reformers might laugh at the bullying of their opponents, and with a register of 12,431 names, 7,000 of whom have never voted at all, but the ma jority of whom are reformers, no Tory can yet sit for the county. It had been said that Mr. Hume would not again offer himself. It was a weak invention of the enemy, and he was authorised to state, that no earthly consideration would induce him to withdraw ; hut that come an election when it might, this indefatigable Member would be found in the field, hand in hand, he hoped, with their veteran Mr. Byng. Mr. Coppock proposed the Hammersmith Reform Club. _ _ Mr. WATSON in responding to the toast, detailed the prosperous state of the Club, its increasing strength and energy, and called upon the Members to exert themselves still more, in the good cause. Mr. PENDON, Vice President, and several other gentle men spoke earnestly in the work of Reform, and Mr. Smallpiece, in commenting upon the change of public opi nion, which had taken place throughout the county, stated that some years back he was almost the only Reformer in Hammersmith, whilst now the great majority of the parish were Reformers. Mr. WiexENs, on his health as Treasurer being drank, replied in a most animated speech. He was happy to see the Club and its funds in so flourishing a condition, and he had little doubt that the meeting of that evening would still farther strengthen their hands. By union alone could Re formers carry their principles into full effect—the enemies of Reform were united ; Reformers should be the same, and he hoped that such clubs as theirs would be established in every village in the country. The health of the Chairman and many other sentiments having been given, the meeting separated. The dinner, wines, and dessert did great credit to Mr. Hetherington, the worthy host of the City Arms, and th e whole proceedings of the evening were most gratifying to Reformers. The Sherborne Journal states that the potatoes in that neighbourhood are abundant, and will be sold cheap ; but that the wheat crop is short, and that the barley, though it yields well, has been greatly discoloured. Each half-year's catalogue at Leipsic contains the names of at least a thousand new writers, from which, and from other circumstances, a recent traveller infers that " there cannot be fewer than 50,000 persons living in Ger many who have written a book." In England, towards the North, winter has prema turely appeared. On Friday last the road between Buxton and Ashburn was covered with snow, to the depth of three inches. Such a spectacle, at this period of the year, has rarely been witnessed. It is said that the fresh improvement of throwing , open a view of the Park, on the Uxbridge-road, by substi tuting an open iron rail in lieu of the wall, is not effected at the public expense, but at that of the spirited individual who is erecting a handsome crescent on the opposite side. The Mark-lane Express, in allusion to the wheat crops in Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Kent, the four coun ties on which the metropolis mainly depends for its supply, states that " the straw is decidedly short in bulk, but that the sheaves in thrashing have yielded a larger return than was anticipated." A gang of sheep-stealers, who have long infested Brentwood, Essex, and its vicinity, have been broken up, and five of the party are in custody. One of the fellows has given evidence against his accomplices. The price of pig iron has just been reduced by the Scotch ironmasters twenty shillings per ton. The example is expected to be promptly and very generally followed in England. The north-west pinnacle of the tower of Pen church was blown down by the high wind on Wednesday last, and fell upon a tomb of the Dethick family, which it shattered to pieces. Four of the large elm-trees on Tettenhall-green, and several others in this neighbourhood, were also blown down.—Wolverhampton Chronicle. One of the London Assurance Offices, boasts that it assures the lives of members of yeomanry and volunteer corps, without any extra premium. According to accounts from St. Etienne, the silk trade has become suddenly very active, purchases to the amount of 1,800,000 f. having been made within a few days. ELOPEMENT.—The main topic of conversation of at Pontefract, during the last nine days, has been the ab sconding of Mr. Hawkins. He left that town in the early part of last week, taking with him a sum of money and portable goods, variously estimated at from 8001. to 1,5001. Not content with the above, he has taken with him the wife of a nother man, who was absent on a sol diering expedition to Doncaster. They have been traced to this town.—Halifax Express. METTERNICII.-011 the first glimpse which I had of the Austrian Prime Minister, I fancied I beheld the Duke of Wellington ; but on a secon d l oo k I di scovere d that his face was fuller, and much less sharp and haggard than that of the hero of Waterloo. There is, however, a very singular resembl ance i n t h e great li nes an d charac ter of their faces. The contour of the visage is the same i n each ; the expression about the mouth is not unlike, while the self - complacence which plays on both counte nances, indicating a feeling of conscious superiority, is re markably similar. Prince Metternich is taller than his English brother politician, and walks erect, with a co ol and deliber a t e step. The impression made by his appearance is highly favourable, as be has altogether a handsome face arid a gra ce f u l p erson . T o th ose whom he addressed he seemed particularly affable ; and although it struck me that there was a constant under-current of thought going on in his mind, he showed wonderful tact in the distribu tion of these personal courtesies, having a word in season for all who crossed his path. The Prince was attired very much like an Englishman. He sported a black coat and nankeen trousers, a black silk stock, and a white hat.— Strang's Germany in 1331.

RUSSELL.” " Whitehall, Oct. 18, 183 G. " Sir—l have the honour to inform you that it has been deemed expedient that the gaol of Newgate should hence forth be appropriated only for the reception of prisoners be fore trial. " With a view to give effect to this arrangement, an or der of his Majesty in Council, in conformity with the Act of the 4th and sth of William IV., cap. 36 (a copy of which is enclosed), has recently issued for the purpose of enabling his Majesty's Justices, in any case in which it is by law imperative to imprison offenders . in Newgate, as the common gaol of the city of London and county of Middle sex, for certain offences, to adjudge such offenders to be imprisoned in the General Penitentiary. " For giving still further effect to the arrangement above mentioned, I would suggest that . no prisoner should in fu ture be adjudged to imprisonment in the gaol of Newgate in any case where the period of confinement would exceed the time of the sittings of the Court. " I think it right to observe that it has been desirable to confine the Order in Council to the class of offenders before mentioned, but I beg to add that I shall be at all times ready to receive and consider any recommendation of the Court in favour of prisoners of any other description whose cases may appear fit and proper for confinement in the Pe nitentiary.—l have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient servant, (Signed) " J. RUSSELL.' " At the Court of St. James's, the 21st of September, 1836 ; present the King's Most Excellent Majesty, in Council. " Whereas, by an Act passed in the sth year of the reign of his present Majesty, intituled 4 An Act for esta blishing a new Court for the trial of offences committed in the metropolis and parts adjoining,' it is among other things enacted that it shall be lawful for his Majesty, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, from time to time, to order and direct in what gaol, house of correction, or other prison, being within the limits of the said Act, any person or per sons charged with or convicted of offences committed or said to have been committed within the limits of the said Act, shall be imprisoned or kept in custody ; and that when and so often as his Majesty, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, shall be pleased to give such orders and directions, the said Justices and Judges of Oyer and Terminer and Gaol Delivery, and all Justices of the Peace, Coroners, and other Magistrates, acting within the limits of the said Act, shall commit all persons charged or convicted before them to such gaol, house of correction, or other prison, as in such orders and directions shall be ex pressed and commanded, any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding ; and it is further enacted, that the General Penitentiary of Millbank shall be considered one of the prisons in which his Majesty, by virtue of the said Act, may, with the advice of his Privy Council, direct any persons charged or convicted of offences within the limits of the said Act to be imprisoned and kept in custody. And whereas it is deemed expedient that persons convicted of offences at the Sessions holden for the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court, at the Sessions of the Peace holden for the City of London, or for the county of Middlesex, who can now only be imprisoned in Newgate, as the county gaol of London and Middlesex, should not be imprisoned in the said gaol of Newgate. " It is hereby ordered by his Majesty, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, in pursuance of the power vested in his Majesty by the said Act, that the Judges and Justices of the said Central Criminal Court, and the Jus- tices of the Peace of the City of London and the county of Middlesex, do not adjudge to be imprisoned in the gaol of Newgate, as the common gaol of till City of London and the county of Middlesex. " And the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, is to give the necessary directions herein accordingly. " C. GREVILLE." MONEY MARKET. THURSDAY EvExlNG.—The state of the Money Market, as regards the commercial business of it, is mending. Dis counts are more readily obtained than for several days past, and the demand for money has considerably diminished, owing to the extent to which the principal merchants hare gone in lessening their engagements, on the first intimation of the measures about to be adopted by the Bank. There . _ is also some impression making, owing to the state of money recently, on the prices of commodities, so that it is hoped the importations into this country for a few months to come may be checked. It is a remarkable fact, which may never theless be vouched for, that some of the principal London houses, in their anxiety to avoid the storm that they saw impending over them, have not a single order out, or in pro gress of execution. Those countries, therefore, from whence our chief articles of import are received, must suffer a sensible reduction of prices, or retain their stocks in hand until a better market is created for them in this country, both of which will almost equally answer our purpose. If the mercantile class, then, could see the Bank in a. more safe position, there would be a disposition to con sider that the more serious part of the danger had. been passed, but on this point their solicitude is by no means materially lessened. Before this can be accom plished, it is necessary to have the exchanges so far im proved, that not only the export of bullion may be checked, but that it may again flow back to this country. Some of our capitalists, it appears, are combining for a very exten sive operation of this kind—with what success remains to be ascertained. But there is a party in the City who are extremely sanguine as to the result, and who have planned simultaneously with it a speculation on a large scale for a rise in the funds, to which the state of the markets is, otherwise, extremely favourable. The success of the first operation is, however, indispensable to that of the second, and, as yet, no decided progress has been made by either. The weekly meeting of Bank Directors took place to day, during which some expectations prevailed in the City that a further rise in the rate of interest would be an nounced, but no notice of the kind was given, and many consider that all thought of such a measure is abandoned for the present. A conference which took place early in the week between the Bank Directors and the principal American banks, is supposed to have conduced materially to this, and it is said that their representations were such as to induce generally a better feeling between the parties. The Dublin letters state that a notice has been issued by the Bank of Ireland to the effect that all sums paid into the Bank of England or its branches, to the credit of Irish accounts, will be paid free of charge. It has been the custom hitherto to charge a small commission on such payments. It seems unfair for these wealthy corporations, which have many advantages peculiar to themselves, to en croach thus on the profits of the private bankers and money-brokers, who have difficulty enough without it, to bear up under such competition.—:llorning Paper.
